      Frogs don’t care about your disgust. Frogs do what they gotta do.

    Don’t echidnas and platypuses also lay eggs and feed their young milk?

      Yes, but all mammals by definition produce milk

      Thing is this isn’t even the second time mothers secreting food for babies has evolved - some birds do it as well as mammals (birds are basically just mammals 2.0 really, warm blooded, big brains, produce milk, highly active)

          They don’t, but their neuron density is similar to some primates.

      Yes, and?

      Edit: before this we knew of two groups of alive things that produce milk: mammals and monotremes (egg laying mammals). Finding an amphibian that also does it is very interesting.
